cHILDREN IN UKRAINE
NEED URGENT SUPPORT

Four years of full-scale war in Ukraine has changed the lives of 7.5 million children forever. Their childhoods have been ripped away as they’ve been forced from their homes and schools, lost loved ones and friends and lived in fear as air raid alerts, drones and explosions consume the world around them.

From children living on the frontline of the war to those who have been displaced from their homes, the scale of loss is catastrophic.

We’re there with them, providing safe spaces to talk and play, support to keep learning, essential aid to help families survive, and protection from dangers like landmines. But we can’t do this without you.

Donate today and help protect children caught up in war. Together, we can be there for children when they need us most.

Four years since the full-scale war began, children in Ukraine are facing a deepening humanitarian crisis following years of conflict and disruption. Since February 2022, at least 763 children have been killed and 2,486 injured, with many more exposed to repeated trauma, loss and insecurity.

Ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure have left millions without reliable heat or power, compounding the hardship for displaced and conflict-affected families, delaying schools re-opening until February 2026. 

We’re supporting children and their families with access to essential supplies and services and have reached over 4.7 million people – including around 1.9 million children – in Ukraine in the last four years, delivering essential aid, protection, education and family support services.

No child Should pay the price for a war they played no part in. Donate now to help bring protection, care and hope to children when they need it the most.

With your support, we’ve helped more than 4.7 million people, including more than 1.9 million children, in Ukraine since February 2022.

In 2025 alone, we supported over 434,100 people in Ukraine through safe learning spaces, mental health support, cash assistance and essential items – ensuring families can meet basic needs with dignity.

“It was very good support for us,” says mum Olha. “They helped us financially. [The social workers] supported us emotionally as well.”

• Cash and livelihoods: We helped 20,500 people to rebuild their livelihoods by providing cash and agriculture grants. We also launched community led projects, strengthening local leadership, skills and opportunities.
• Child protection: We helped 77,800 children to stay safe by running child-friendly spaces where they can learn, play and receive mental health support. We also helped to protect children from dangers like mines and trained local partners and communities to build the skills needed to care for children in the long term.
• Education: We supported 148,200 children through Digital Learning Centres for remote learning and by rehabilitating schools and nurseries.
• Wash and shelter: We provided 165,400 people with essential items, safe shelter and hygiene support.

We’ve also continued supporting families who’ve fled to Poland, Romania and Lithuania, including providing education, protection and wellbeing support to more than 21,300 people in 2025

Children in Ukraine are showing extraordinary resilient. But resilience is not enough on its own. They need our support. And they need your support. Please donate today to help children in crisis.
